Sauereisen
Corrosion-Resistant Coatings & Linings by Sauereisen
SAUEREISEN is a third-generation company that offers
a complete line of organic and inorganic corrosion-resistant
materials of construction for new and rehabilitation applica-
tions. Our engineered and progressive selection of organic
linings and materials provides exceptional corrosion resis-
tance, abrasion resistance, and low permeability to a wide
variety of chemicals.
For over 118 years, the Sauereisen name has ranked
among the leaders of specialty cement development. Like-
wise, our technology of inorganic products offers resistance
to high acid concentrations and temperatures through 2,000
°F. These engineered products are designed for protecting
concrete and steel infrastructures from chemical and physi-
cal abuse while providing outstanding flexural and tensile
strength. These products are 100% solids, resistant to ther-
mal shock, as well as resistant to sulfuric acid or strong oxi-
dation environments.
Sauereisen's roots run deep in the field of corrosion. Our
experience is in specialty materials that resist extreme tem-
peratures and chemicals. We serve facility owners, engi-
neers, and contractors relying on dependable solutions to
corrosive environments in chemical plants, petrochemical
facilities, water & wastewater treatment plants, and other
processing areas.
Sauereisen materials are produced in many forms to
protect concrete or steel that would otherwise be vulnerable
to aggressive chemical environments. These solutions
range from relatively thin coatings and linings to more
heavy-duty refractories and polymer concretes. Sauerei-
sen's chemical-resistant materials of construction preserve
infrastructure in the wastewater, power generation, food &
beverage, and chemical processing industries. Ultimately,
the use of Sauereisen products helps the environment by
enabling potentially harmful substances to be contained.
The company was founded in 1899 by C. Fred Sauerei-
sen with the introduction of a ceramic-based adhesive still
in use today. Our main areas of expertise are the restoration
of infrastructure, the prevention of corrosion, and the insula-
tion of high-temperature instrumentation.
Innovation and Growth into
Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Early applications of Sauereisen products indicated a
high degree of resistance to acidic environments. By modi-
fying the filler systems, Sauereisen introduced mortars and
refractory-grade materials. This led to expansion into the
power, chemical processing, and steel industries during the
mid-20th century. Specifications for Sauereisen as a means
of protecting concrete and steel from aggressive chemicals
remain commonplace in such structures as flue gas ducts,
process tanks, and floors.

Sauereisen expanded its technology through targeted
R&D and acquisitions. In addition to historic mortars, refrac-
tories, and grouts, additional product categories now
encompass coatings, linings, membranes, and polymer
concretes. Formulations range from silicates and furans to
epoxy, vinyl ester, and urethanes.
In recent times, markets with distinct environmental
requirements have driven Sauereisen's direction in corro-
sion. The municipal wastewater arena is one such market.
What distinguishes Sauereisen is the product breadth and
depth to recommend the most appropriate engineered sys-
tem and the technical ability to service those who install it.
Sauereisen maintains a global presence with an exten-
sive network of technical sales representatives in major cit-
ies throughout the world. Our manufacturing and warehouse
facilities located in the United States, Europe, the Pacific
Rim, and Latin America provide worldwide product distribu-
tion. Sauereisen remains dedicated to solving the problems
requiring specialty materials.
